Pedagogical Higher Education Institutions and Regional Education Authorities: Towards Developing an Effective Interaction Model

The issues of interaction between pedagogical higher education institutions and regional education authorities are insufficiently developed in modern pedagogical theory. The aim of the study is to identify the current state of interaction between pedagogical higher education institutions and regional education systems, as well as to identify problematic areas of this interaction and develop approaches to designing a model of this interaction. The research is based on data obtained from 38 regions, reflecting the positions of 47 representatives of state authorities responsible for educationmanagement and 27 employees of pedagogical higher education institutions. As a result of the study, the features of building interaction between pedagogical higher education institutions and education management authorities have been identified, as well as growth points that allow this interaction to become a factor in the development of the regional educational system. Approaches to building an effective model of interaction between a pedagogical higher education institution and regional education management authorities are also proposed, and the main directions of joint activities of a pedagogical higher education institution and education management authorities are defined in the context of multilevel and multifunctional interaction. Prospective directions for further research include the development of a system of indicators and indicators based on the proposed model for assessing the effectiveness of interaction between pedagogical higher education institutions and regional education authorities.
